Rise of the Eternal Empress
King Theron Ravencrest, one of the most powerful wizards in the continent, rules through fear, ambition, and dark magic.
But his fury is born from betrayal.
Believing he was promised Princess Lysira Valestra of Nightfire Glen, Theron instead finds himself married to a seemingly powerless maid—Elysia. Unaware that Elysia is in fact one of the most formidable mages of Nightfire Glen, she hides her strength and suppresses her magic for twelve long years.
Even her son, Kalen Ravencrest, is forbidden from revealing his power.
To Theron, the truth appears simple: he has been deceived, trapped with a weak wife and an even weaker heir. His frustration turns to madness when a prophecy surfaces—the daughter of Princess Lysira will be the cause of his downfall.
Consumed by paranoia, Theron launches a brutal assault on the Valestra family, slaughtering Princess Lysira, her king, their nine-year-old son, and even her unborn child. To erase every threat, he murders his own wife, Elysia, and exiles their only son, casting Kalen out of the Drakoria Clan as if he were nothing.
But fate does not end where Theron believes it does.
As a new semester begins at Grimswald College of Witchcraft & Wizardry, hidden truths begin to surface. Kalen steps into a world of magic he was never allowed to claim, while whispers of the prophecy resurface—hinting that the daughter of Princess Lysira may not be as lost as the world believes.
With destiny stirring, dark secrets buried, and young mages awakening, the battle between power and fate begins anew.
And this time, even a king cannot escape what is written.
